Middle piece is formed of mitochondiral spiral , nebenkern around the proximal part of axoneme. The mitochondria are the carriers of the oxidative enzymes and the enzymes which are responsible for oxidative phosphorylation. So the middle piece is the power house of a sperm
The mid piece is the piece that is between the forpiece and the rear piece
ot is apart of the sperm in the middle part to function.
tail is to swim, head (nucleus) is to carry genes
Spermiogenesis
The function of a sperm cell is to compete with all it's "fellow" sperm cells to fertilize an available egg and produce a viable offspring.
The function of an egg cell is to join with a sperm cell to create a new being after the parents.
The function of an egg cell is to join with a sperm cell to create a new being after the parents.
The sperm cell is an interestingly specialised cell whose function is to swim to the ovum and then to fertilise it. The sperm cell has three basic parts. The head contains the DNA to be injected into the ovum and also has chemotatic receptors for navigation towards the ovum. The Tail is at the other end and is a single flagella in healthy cells. This structure flips and twists in such a way as to propel the cell along. Finally between the two is the body of the cell which contains six mitochonria to power the movement of the flagella. It is the the joint between the body and the head that is broken during fertilisation so that none of the motochondria are from the father.
Spermiogenesis
A sperm cell consists of three parts: HEAD which contains the acrosomal vesicle, nucleus and centriole MIDPIECE which contains mitochondria to produce energy needed for movement TAIL or flagella which flips back and forth to provide movement Only the sperm head penetrate the egg. The midpiece and tail are lost
The sperm cell consists of 3 parts: the head (with the acrosomal vesicle, nucleus and centriole), midpiece (containing mitochondria) and tail (for movement). Enclosing all of this is a cell membrane
The function of the sperm cell is to fertilize an egg cell.

sperm main function is to carry the male genes to the egg
A sperm cell (gamete) is a specialised cell because it only performs one function: to fertilise an egg, and its structure relates to it's function. For example, the sperm cell's long tail helps it swim faster.

the sperm cells have to swim to the ovum and then fertilise it. and the egg cells have to reproduvce the offspring
it helps control what goes in and out of the cell. It also help protect the nucleus, and the inside of the sperm.
